WordPress 2.1.3 is Out
Just a note to all those WordPress Bloggers out there that WordPress 2.1.3 is out. Fixed stuff includes…
These releases include fixes for several publicly known minor XSS issues, one major XML-RPC issue, and a proactive full sweep of the WordPress codebase to protect against future problems. Many thanks to Sumit Siddharth and Alex Concha for their help with reporting issues in this release.
As an update to the systems issue we had last month, we have taken dozens of additional precautions with the servers and systems that run WordPress.org and they appear to be working well, despite hundreds of hack attempts after we publicly disclosed there had been a problem. We are also now aggressively monitoring all downloads for any changes or modifications, and we are confident the same type of problem won’t happen again.
It’s always a good idea to upgrade, unless of course the upgrade has been hacked. Hopefully, they won’t have that problem this time.
